for the measure。



It may be remarkedfirst; that we had the same Constitution then as

now; secondly; that we then had a case of invasion; and now we have a

case of rebellion; and; thirdly; that the permanent right of the

people to public discussion; the liberty of speech and of the press;

the trial by jury; the law of evidence; and the habeas corpus

suffered no detriment whatever by that conduct of General Jackson; or

its subsequent approval by the American Congress。



And yet; let me say that; in my own discretion; I do not know whether

I would have ordered the arrest of Mr。 Vallandigham。  While I cannot

shift the responsibility from myself; I hold that; as a general rule;

the commander in the field is the better judge of the necessity in

any particular case。  Of course I must practice a general directory

and revisory power in the matter。



One of the resolutions expresses the opinion of the meeting that

arbitrary arrests will have the effect to divide and distract those

who should be united in suppressing the rebellion; and I am

specifically called on to discharge Mr。 Vallandigham。  I regard this

as; at least; a fair appeal to me on the expediency of exercising a

constitutional power which I think exists。  In response to such

appeal I have to say; it gave me pain when I learned that Mr。

Vallandigham had been arrested (that is; I was pained that there

should have seemed to be a necessity for arresting him); and that it

will afford me great pleasure to discharge him so soon as I can by

any means believe the public safety will not suffer by it。



I further say that; as the war progresses; it appears to me; opinion

and action; which were in great confusion at first; take shape and

fall into more regular channels; so that the necessity for strong

dealing with them gradually decreases。  I have every reason to desire

that it should cease altogether; and far from the least is my regard

for the opinions and wishes of those who; like the meeting at Albany;

declare their purpose to sustain the government in every

constitutional and lawful measure to suppress the rebellion。  Still;

I must continue to do so much as may seem to be required by the

public safety。

somewhere; could you not break him?
